Subject: Form to store/recover buffer modified state?
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2003 22:08:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4yznhtczpt.fsf@skjellgran.ii.uib.no> (raw)


Hello,

I have some buffer manipulating[1] functions which are wrapped in a
construct like this:

(let ((modified (buffer-modified-p)))
  ;;
  (lots of code)
  ;;
  (if (not modified) (set-buffer-modifed-p nil)))

To ensure that the buffer is not marked as modified when the function
has finished executing.  Is there a special form, i.e. resembling
(save-excursion ) to achieve this?


regards Joakim


[1] The manipulations in question are typically text properties,
    i.e. manipulations which should not be saved.
